  • The Watlington and Princes Risborough Railway was an independent English railway company that connected the Oxfordshire towns of Watlington and Chinnor to the main line railway network of the Great Western Railway (GWR) at Princes Risborough. It opened in 1872. The company was always short of money and was obliged to sell the line to the GWR in 1883; investors sustained a considerable loss. Road vehicle competition led to a decline in usage and upon nationalisation of the railways in 1948 the line was subject to a review of its future; passenger operation ceased in 1957. A large cement works at Chinnor kept the stub of the line in use until 1989, when it closed. A heritage railway group took it over and operates successfully as the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway. (en)
